Janwillem,

The problem is only that you have to turn off the Lighting in the
Draw3DItems statement.

Needs["DrawGraphics`DrawingMaster`"]

fsize = 14;
tstyle = {FontFamily -> "Helvetica", FontSize -> fsize,
       FontWeight -> "Bold"};
muConcrete = 2.3*0.05;
LConcrete = 10;
FConcrete = 0.14;
lConcrete = 10;
RnCorrection = 1 - F (L/lambda)Cosh[x/lambda]/Sinh[L/lambda] // FullSimplify
f = RnCorrection /. {mu -> muConcrete, L -> LConcrete, F -> FConcrete};

Draw3DItems[
    {Draw3D[f, {lambda, 5, 15}, {x, -LConcrete, LConcrete},
       ColorFunction -> (Hue[0.75*(1 - #)] &)],
     {Text[
          "Correction factor", {5, -10, 0.85}, {-.6, 0}, {0, 1},
          TextStyle -> tstyle]}},
    Lighting -> False,
    Axes -> Automatic,
    AxesLabel -> {"Path length (cm)", "Depth (cm)", ""},
    BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 0.7},
    TextStyle -> tstyle,
    ImageSize -> 500];

Or, if you want the lighting on to obtain a little shading you can convert
the Hue specifications to SurfaceColor specifications and use
NeutralLighting.

Draw3DItems[
    {Draw3D[f, {lambda, 5, 15}, {x, -LConcrete, LConcrete},
       ColorFunction -> (Hue[0.75*(1 - #)] &)] /.
        Hue[h_] :> SurfaceColor[Hue[h]],
     {Text[
          "Correction factor", {5, -10, 0.85}, {-.6, 0}, {0, 1},
          TextStyle -> tstyle]}},
    NeutralLighting[0.3, 0.5, 0.1],
    Axes -> Automatic,
    AxesLabel -> {"Path length (cm)", "Depth (cm)", ""},
    BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 0.7},
    TextStyle -> tstyle,
    ImageSize -> 500];

Hope that helps.

I want to make a 3D surface plot of which the colour changes depending
on the z-value over the full hue-range. With just Plot3D this works.
However, I want the z-axis legend vertical and therefore thought of
using David Park's package using Draw3D and Draw3DItems. This however
refuses to take ColorFunction as an option.

1) Is there a solution for this colouring problem?
2) How do I get the z-label to the left of the plot and still have the
box along the plot-axes?

Thanks for the help
Janwillem
